Conference Program

Like the previous meetings, Measuring Behavior 2008 offered an attractive mix of oral papers, poster presentations, special interest groups (SIGs), technical demonstrations, tutorials and workshops teaching how to use software and other tools, user meetings organized by manufacturers, scientific tours to research facilities in and around Maastricht, an exhibition of scientific books, instruments, and software, and of course a very pleasant social program.

A special edition of Behavioral Research Methods will be dedicated to full papers from the conference. An overview of all oral presentations, posters and demonstrations, ordered alphabetically by first author, with links to the abstracts, can be found in the index by author.
